Time Gone By Lyrics - Carole King

TIME GONE BY 

by Carole King 

The rebel cry of desolation 

To which we used to hearken 

Echoes now in isolation 

As the skies in fury darken 

A thousand acts of desecration 

Hundreds more continue 

When y'know that you are all creation 

You're gonna fight them with all that's in you

I remember time gone by 

When peace and hope and dreams were high 

We followed inner visions and touched the sky 

Now we who still believe won't let them die 

Waters dammed to overflowing 

Like tears brimming over in our eyes 

Sometimes it's so hard to keep on going 

When promises turn to lies 

Go ahead, give into confussion 

And put aside your ideals too 

Soon you'll see only illusion 

Don't care who's hurt 

As long as it's not you 

CHORUS 

Photos 

Soemtimes a leader emerges 

And is followed for a while 

Doesn't matter what he encourages 

Just as long as he's got style 

Young ones conceived in a passion 

Of directions we thought enlighted 

Grown up they follow the mood in fashion 

But beneathe their bravado 

you know they're frightened 

CHORUS
